Jarrow Formulas® Bromelain Tablets, 500 mg Dietary Supplement for Protein Digestion, 60 Tablets, 60 Day Supply

I suffer from severe chronic pain resulting from nerve damage after 4 left shoulder surgeries. I have been on narcotics for years with very little relief from my constant pain. I have constant upper back spasms from neck injuries after 2 auto accidents. I cannot take steroids or any anti-inflammatory due to severe side effects (atrial fibrillation from steroids & GI bleeding from anti-inflammatory meds). I took 1 tablet with my evening meal & noticed a significant reduction in my pain within 4 hours. My muscle spasms are much worse in the evenings which prevents me from sleeping. I slept better last night then I have slept in years because the muscle spasms were almost completely alleviated after taking my PM dose of this supplement along with my magnesium glycinate supplement (great for muscle spasms). The next morning it was a dramatic reduction in AM stiffness & pain. I also noticed that my spring allergy symptoms were much better. No nasal stuffiness whatsoever the next morning. I normally can hardly breathe through my nose even with allergy nasal sprays & oral meds because my nasal passages are so swollen & irritated. This seems to work very well for me. I take a lot of herbal supplements as I normally have less side effects from herbal supplements than from prescription meds. I also take Pau D'Arco & Cats Claw which both have anti-inflammatory properties. I have responded very well to those 2 herbal supplements also.

One of my favorite supplements for my knee. Jarrow, is a favorite and trusted company in our house.

Before I bought this, I knew bromelain helps digestion, but I read reviews that say it helps with inflammation and joint pain. I thought I would give it a try. After 30 days of use, I cannot say that it does definitely help with joint pain, but anything that reduces inflammation is good, and maybe I need to be patient to see results. It definitely does help with digestion and heartburn. The capsules are large but not too difficult to swallow, although I have to use juice or milk.Update to previous review:After using this product for several weeks, my husband and I both noticed a difference in our joints, mostly knees and ankles, although for me, hips and back as well. We ran out of this product and I didn't buy more, and within 2 days my husband was telling me how badlly his ankles ached after work. Back on the Bromelain, no aching. It does work and I recommend it.

I got these mainly for the digestive benefits of bromelain, and as such, have been happy with the results. It has not been all that effective for inflammation control, another potential benefit. According to what I've read, for digestive benefits it's best to take this with a meal; for inflammation benefits it's best to take it between meals. I've tried it both ways and, while the digestive benefits are there, the inflammation benefits are not significant. Since I use these as a digestive aid I'll not downgrade my rating due to the lack of good inflammation benefits.I will detract one star due to the size of the pill. It can be a bit difficult to swallow due to the size. I would have preferred a smaller pill with a lower concentration since I'd rather take two smaller pills than one large one.Good value for the price compared with other brands of bromelain. I have used several Jarrow supplements and have never had a problem with the quality.

I took this little magic pill for fertility reasons. This info is hard to find online so hoping other women here for fertility can benefit from this too. Your are supposed to take this ONLY from 2 days post ovulation (DPO) until 5 or 6 DPO. Any sooner can cause you to not ovulate, or longer can cause miscarriage but it’s said to take down swelling and allow the baby to attach to the lining of your uterus. Take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for an hour or so. If you take with food it is not an anti-inflammatory but only a digestive aid. It worked for me the first month along with using pre-seed lubricant. I felt good on this stuff too. Less pain overall and actually some good energy from it surprisingly. Good luck!

These pineapple extract supplements are simply amazing. I recently (6 weeks ago) had a tummy tuck, 4 areas of lipo and a breast lift. Been trying everything for the swelling (lyphatic drainage supplements, ibuprofen) didn't help, but once these came in the mail, I took one. Within the hour or less noticed a dramatic difference in my swelling of my torso. I definitely can see the definition of my tummy tuck more. These also helped my friend who twisted her ankle and her swelling and pain wasn't going away, she ended up buying some. I gave my sister some to try for her budging disc that has been bothering her for 2 weeks, it also helped her. This is my go to forever now. Going to get more for sure and share it on FB.

I took one pill when it was delivered yesterday afternoon.Soon after, I developed a headache on the right side of my temple, which lasted all day and into the evening.I couldn’t sleep because of the pain, so I ended up taking an aspirin to relieve it.I plan to cut the pill into four pieces and try a 1/4 dose in a couple of days—125 mg instead of 500 mg.If I experience the same symptoms, I may return it for a refund.I used bromelain many years ago with no reaction, but it was a different brand.*Updated to 1 star rating. No refund option is available. I am too scared to try this product after the initial first pill.*11-13-2024 I reached out to Jarrow support to give them more information, and I also called Amazon support to request a refund. The customer service from both was responsive and helpful.

No issues with this.
